I lived in Indonesia, the largest Muslim country in the world, between the ages of six and 10.
My father was from Kenya, and although he was probably most accurately labeled an agnostic, his father was Muslim.
And I’d say, probably, intellectually I’ve drawn as much from Judaism as any other faith.

Show me where Bush has said how much he learned from Judaism growing up.

I feel that once a black fella has referred to white foks as "honky paleface devil white-trash cracker redneck Caspers," he's abdicated the right to get upset about the "N" word. But that's just me. -- Jim Goad

Since he grew up in the Episcopal church, he should have learned a GREAT deal from Judaism. :) You just posted the Obama picture, so I assumed that was the basis of your comment. Your original post said nothing about Obama's comments.

The only picture MY post had was the one I quoted from you're post. I don't have a problem with politicians dressing in ceremonial garb, other than they look silly. My problem that Obama has had the same experiences of whoever he is in front of at the moment. No wonder Oprah endorsed him, he is a male Oprah.

That's what politicians do. Obama does it overtly and egregiously because he's still pretty wet behind the ears. That's all. It's not an attractive trait, but it's sadly universal.

Every time I try to understand what Obama's thining is, I hear this quote from Damon Wayans in The Great White Hype. When Wayan's black Heavyweight champ is asked how he's gonna win the fight without training or staying in shape, his response is......

"I'll beat him with my blackness."
